FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. (7News) — Jason Michael Colley, a 42-year-old former Fairfax County police officer charged in the death of his 6-month-old daughter in 2017, entered an Alford plea to two counts of first-degree assault Thursday in Frederick County Circuit Court.

An Alford plea is a type of guilty plea in which a defendant maintains their innocence but admits that the prosecution's evidence would likely result in a guilty verdict if brought to trial.

According to police, 6-month-old Harper Colley died on October 31, 2017 after sustaining the injuries that led to her death on September 19.

The State argued that the court sentence Colley to a term in the Division of Corrections within the sentencing guidelines of eight to eighteen years based on the two counts, followed by five years of supervised probation. The defense argued for a term of home detention.

Judge Julia A. Martz-Fisher sentenced Colley to a combined fifty years suspending all but eight years to be served on private home detention. The defendant was also ordered to serve five years of supervised probation with additional terms that he not engage in physical punishment of children.

The plea agreement comes following four days of jury selection for what was slated to be a lengthy trial.

On September 19, 2017, Troopers with the Maryland State Police responded to the 12000 block of Fingerboard Road in Monrovia for the report of a sick or injured subject. The call came in as 6-month-old female infant that was having seizures and not breathing. The 911 caller was the defendant, Jason Colley. The infant was transported to Shady Grove Hospital in Montgomery County. The infant was later flown to Children’s Hospital in the District of Columbia where she later passed away. Over the course of a lengthy investigation, detectives determined that the infant’s traumatic brain injury could not have been caused by an accident or illness, but by an intentional act.
